Admit, as soon as the sky turns gray, we dream of plaids, teas burning and a series Netflix in a loop. But Paris doesn't let three drops of rain get you down and is full of fun activities to keep you warm and cozy… On the program: gourmet workshop, cultural trip, introduction to paint but also decoration shopping to curl up in beautiful sheets, a canvas in a stylish cinema to discover new releases, a tasting of exceptional vintages in a decor Belle Epoque or even a lunch in a legendary address in the capital. I promise, bad weather won't have the last word!
Tasting vintages of Perrier-Jouët at Maxim's
Perrier-Jouët et Maxim’sit is the evidence of a collaboration that seems to have lasted forever. Until the end of December, visit the private rooms upstairs Maxim’s for one Belle Époque parenthesis : a pop-up bar where you can enjoy a limited edition of Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs in an extraordinary Art Nouveau decor in the colors of the Champagne house. Sublime old glasses have been found and constitute the first ritual, since it involves choosing your favorite from the window upon arrival. Then it's time for the tasting of bubbles to accompany plates to share: whole duck foie gras terrine, toasted brioche (€42), crispy shrimp, lemon mayonnaise (€25), caviar and blinis (€150)… An experience to book to rediscover the chardonnayfloral, refined and complex signature grape variety dear to Perrier-Jouët around a glass of Brut (€24), Blanc de Blancs (€35) or Rosé (€28).

Improvise yourself as Picasso for an afternoon
It is often said that rain is a source of creativity, so what better way to cultivate it than a painting class? For 2 hours, we are immersed in a group workshop at therelaxed atmosphere around an aperitif in which we learn painting techniques under the wise advice of Clémentine. The latter does not meet the requirements of Beaux-Arts and welcomes you, whether you are alone or in a group, novice or with a brushstroke worthy of Michelangelo ! Huge plus? The possibility of bringing back your own project but also of improving your drawing and sculpture skills. At the end, we obviously leave with our masterpiece… while waiting for it to be bought by a collector!
